Global DNA methylation in Tregs and Teffs. Comparison of 5-methylocytosine (5-mC) production in Tregs: POLY, SPEC, UNSPEC and Teffs: POLY, SPEC, UNSPEC. During the tests cells were stimulated with beads anti-CD3/ant-CD28 (index POLY) or monocytes loaded with whole insulin (index INS) or insulin β chain peptide 9-23 (index B:9-23). Cells responding to antigen have an index SPEC, cells not recognizing the antigen have an index UNSPEC. All analyzes were performed for six tests (three tests for whole insulin and three tests for insulin β chain peptide 9-23) in triplicate. The results are presented as mean+/- SD. Significance was calculated using the t- test, significant results are marked with * (p<0.05), ** (p<0.01) or ***(p<0.001).
